Winemaker’s Tasting Notes
The 2022 Classique opens with an inviting bouquet of blackcurrants and ripe blackberries, lifted by hints of pimento and coriander spice. The rich dark fruit continues on the palate, evolving into a vibrant note of fresh red cherries. Expressive and flavourful, the wine strikes a fine balance between juicy fruit and well-integrated oak. Subtle savoury spice adds depth, while the silky texture brings elegance to a fresh, lingering finish.
